HUNTSVILLE, Alabama-- Huntsville solidified its place in history and its nickname, The Rocket City, 44 years ago Saturday (July 20, 1969) when man first landed on the moon having traveled there aboard a Huntsville-designed Saturn V rocket.
Everyone is familiar with the iconic Saturn V at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center reminding us of Huntsville's role in sending the Apollo 11 astronauts on that historic journey. The Rocket City has many more tributes, memorials and reminders of its involvement in the space race.
Check out these photos of space-related remembrances of all shapes and sizes around Huntsville. All are visible in public places.
Use the comments area below to tell us where they are and what they are. If we've left some space memorials in the area out, tell us about those too.
Wednesday July 24th is the anniversary of the Apollo 11 return to earth splashdown. Check back then when we will post the descriptions and locations for these Rocket City Remembers Challenge photos.
